- Tyreek Hill accepts Noah Lyles' challenge to race amid ongoing feud.
- Noah Lyles hit back at Hill's claim of faking COVID-19 illness at the Paris Olympics.
- The sprinters engage in a heated rivalry, spicing up the track competition.
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill has accepted a challenge from Olympic gold medalist Noah Lyles to race after Hill accused Lyles of faking an illness during the Olympic Games. The dispute arose during an episode of Shannon Sharpe's 'Nightcap' podcast, where Lyles responded to Hill's claims about his performance in the 200m event in Paris, suggesting that Hill was merely seeking attention. Lyles criticized Hill for not taking racing seriously, referencing NFL player D.K. Metcalf's participation in a 60m race earlier this year. In a swift response to Lyles' remarks, Hill took to social media platform X, urging Lyles to "sign the contract" for a 50-yard race. This back-and-forth highlights the tension between the two athletes, with Hill eager to prove himself against the track star. Despite the rivalry, Lyles emphasized the importance of genuine commitment, stating that if Hill is serious about racing, he should reach out to his agent to arrange a competition. While both athletes boast impressive records, Hill's personal best in the 100m is 10.19 seconds, and his 200m time is 20.14 seconds. In contrast, Lyles holds a remarkable 9.79 seconds in the 100m and a 19.31 seconds in the 200m, the latter being the current American record. As the challenge unfolds, fans are left anticipating a potential showdown between the NFL star and the track champion.
